Peter Richardson. No Simple Highway: A Cultural History of The Grateful Dead.  This book is more of a cultural history than a fan's book. No Simple Highway vividly recounts the Dead's colorful history and probes the riddle of the Dead's unique and durable appeal. Arguing that the band successfully tapped three powerful utopian ideals - ecstasy, mobility, and community - it also shows that the Dead's lived experience with these ideals and their consequences was complex and paradoxical.

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson.  Beasts: What Animals Can Teach Can Teach  Us About  the Origins of Good and Evil.  This book is both a summation of Jeff's 30 years of thought about the emotional life of animals and an audacious attempt to integrate those insights into a new interpretation of the origins of evil in human history. The book begins with a comparison of the two supreme creatures at the top of the food chain: Orcas and humans. He points out several incontrovertible facts: 1)There are no documented attacks of humans by Orcas living in the wild. 2) The number of Orcas killed by other Orcas throughout history is zero. 3) The number of Orcas killed by humans is not known, but is many thousands at least. 4) The number of humans killed by other humans in the 20th century alone is somewhere around 180 million.  From these facts, the author asks a deceptively simple but immensely profound question: "What happened to us? "

Michael Parenti. God and His Demons.  Michael Parenti brings his critical acumen and rhetorical skills to bear on the dark side of religion, from the many evils committed in the name of holy causes throughout history to the vast hypocrisies of its unworthy advocates past and present.  Parenti's focus is the heartless exploitation of faithful followers by those in power, as well as sectarian intolerance, the violence against heretics and nonbelievers, and the reactionary political and economic collusion that has often prevailed between the upper echelons of church and state.

"God and His Demonsis filled with sparkling insights, sly wit, and beautiful writing of a kind we have come to expect from Michael Parenti. A riveting read that I recommend to all." --Julia Scheeres, author of Jesus Land
